India Tests Critical Systems Against Advanced AI Threats

India is conducting comprehensive security assessments of its government and financial infrastructure against Anthropic's Mythos AI system. Major technology companies including Infosys and TCS are participating in these evaluations, while CERT-In is examining national systems like Aadhaar for potential vulnerabilities. This proactive initiative addresses global concerns about Mythos' dual-use nature—its capacity to both strengthen cybersecurity defenses and potentially be exploited for cyberattacks. The testing aims to identify and mitigate risks before malicious actors could leverage the powerful AI model against India's critical digital infrastructure. Source: The Hindu.
